Hello all! Episode 118 of the podcast will be releasing in the morning and along with it, the new VersePic!
Just to start off, I went with James’ photo that I liked so much earlier. It embodied a lot of what I envisioned in the verse, and with some cropping and photoshopping, it played well with the text of the verse.
The main idea I had with editing the photo was that I wanted everything to be clean without a ton of extra details and I really wanted the foreground to be a silhouette. With these two things in mind, I got the colors and exposure the way I wanted and got to work removing unecessary details like large plant stalks, stripes on shorts, and even straps on backpacks. The finished photo had a lot fewer details demanding my attention, so the focus stays on the larger elements of the photo, the mountains, sunset, people, or city, rather than being on the plants coming up in front of those larger elements.
I’ll try to write out some thoughts on why I didn’t choose some of the other submissions tomorrow when it isn’t late and I’m not falling asleep!
